[Stumbo]

Cool bass! What does each control do?

Here is my other Devon I got in today also. This has the controls laid out the same as my Cocobolo as the preamp controls are exactly the same.

 

[ELG60]

Very nice, man. Enjoy!

 

[Gilmourisgod]

That is a gorgeous bass, my favorite wood of all time, cocobolo.

 

[TheReceder]

Great… something else on Earth that I've decided I need.

Nice bass.

Those magnetic covers are so cool. Do they stay nice and secure (I'm sure they probably do), but are still easy to remove?

 

[Bassworship1]

@Tony G

They are very secure and takes a good hold to remove. He puts a little indention on each of the preamp cover and battery cover to make a pressure point that makes it easier to remove. Here shows the Ash Burst Devon I got today showing the batter cover.

Wow

 

[LowEndJason]

I think I'd step over my own grandmother, twice, to play a bass like this.

Congrats! Super nice!

Just checked out the Devon gallery.... Jesus that guy knows how to build a bass....

 

[kesslari]

Beautiful bass. Enjoy.

 

[BEADG63]

Indescribably beautiful...I am in a blind, jealous rage at this moment

EDIT: That Devon does some nice work...

 

[Eidolon0274]

Wow, that is sick! Cant wait to see it in the classifieds!

 

[P. Aaron]

Very nice basses. Congrats.

 

[Real Soon]

Whoa. Those are absolute stunners.

For my own preference, I see the sunburst as more of a vintage classic styling, and while I may favor the modern richness of the other (just personally)... that's one of the more beautiful sunburst finishes I've ever seen.

And touches like the magnetic cavity cover, super cool ensconced cable jack, and custom tuners, to say nothing of the cockpit controls, whoa.


Funny thing, just today I decided I might be in the market to finally move up to a custom 5-string........

hey campbems, that is the reunion gig bag right? How much room in the top do you have with the sponges on the bottom/endpin.

You think you could fit a 35 inch or is it really tight at 34?

 

[Whippet]

BTW. Really nice bass. Roscoe supposedly has a really tight B and after reading yoru post, I am starting to doubt if I should get the Roscoe....

It will easily fit a 35 inch scale bass as my 35 inch Devon’s and Roscoes fit no problem. I’ve owned some of the nicest Roscoes you will find anywhere and many other basses 2-3 times the amount of these Devon’s and nothing comes close to total value the Devon’s have. I get a lot more bass with more and better electronics and prettier tops for 1/2 of what a new Roscoe would cost. Devon is the best quality and playability of any bass I e had in my hands. The B string on all 7 Decins I’ve had have been equal or better to any bass I’ve played also. These last 2 are 34 inch scale and the B string is thunderous and clear.

dang. I was so close to pulling the trigger on a Roscoe 6 string...... but after reading your comment, I am holding off. The one I am looking at is almost 4000 USD.

I am going to look into the Devons. Thanks for the information. Very much appreciated.
